Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns (Copycat Chick Fil A Multigrain Bun)
This Whole Wheat Bun Recipe is extremely soft and fluffy! Made with 100% whole wheat flour, these whole wheat buns are compatible with the grocery store hamburger buns and dipped in crushed oats to replicate the Chick Fil A Multigrain bun!
Equipment
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 cups warm water
- 4 Tbsp dry active yeast
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1/4 cup instant mashed potatoes, (flakes)
- 3/4 cup honey
- 3/4 cup oil
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 egg
- 10 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, (Wheat Montana Prairie Gold Brand)
- 2 Tbsp flax seeds, (ground)
Multigrain Oat Topping:
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, (coarsely pulsed or use quick-oats)
- 1/2 cup water, (poured into a spray bottle)
Instructions
Directions:
- In the bowl of the stand mixer whisk together the water and yeast. Add the salt, potato flakes, honey, oil, vinegar, egg, and 4 cups of flour. Whisk together and allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
- Then add the flax seeds and the remaining 6 1/2 cups of flour.
- Knead for 3-4 minutes. If the dough is too sticky knead an additional 1/4 cup of flour by hand until a soft dough forms. Allow dough to rise until doubled.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and evenly divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Cut each piece into 8 pieces and roll it into balls.
- Spray the top of each ball and dip it into the crushed oats. Place balls on silicone-lined baking sheets and slightly flatten. Score the tops with two slits.
- Allow buns to rise until tripled in size. Bake at 345°F for 10-15 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Do not overbake.
Notes
- To make regular whole wheat hamburger buns: skip step 5 (the oats topping and slits.)
